On Sunday, three researchers led by lock-picking expert Marc Webber Tobias showed how they could easily “bump” and pick Biaxial and high-security M3 locks made by Medeco Security Locks, a Virginia-based company that claimed last year that its locks were “bump-proof.”
I’ve seen some of these lock picking demonstrations in person, and it’s very impressive. It really makes you question how much we depend on locks for security, given how most of them are trivial to open. The cheap ones are especially bad, and yet they are the most common locks found on homes - even the White House. There is some great information on everything lock-related at Deviant Ollam’s site.
